Synergy Services' Advocacy platform focuses on issues that affect the agency's mission to eliminate family violence, abuse and neglect, support the clients that we serve, and improve the communities in which we live. The Advocacy Committee has a plan that addresses:
- Legislation
- Public Policy
- Funding
- Community Development and Empowerment
Synergy is looking for concerned citizens to become involved in our "Grassroots Advocacy Network". For more information or to become involved in Synergy's Advocacy Program contact Sandy Day at 816-777-0356, ext 224.
